Abstract
Abstract A magnetooptical recording apparatus according to which light spots are successively formed on a magnetooptical disc (2) at a timing of a predetermined reference clock signal (S ck ), and record data are magnetically recorded onto the disc (2) by applying a predetermined modulation magnetic field (H M ) of which the polarity is inverted depending on the record data in synchronism with the reference clock signals (SC K ), wherein the timing for inverting the polarity of the modulation magnetic field (H M ) in response to the reference clock signals (S CK ) is delayed by a predetermined amount depending upon the characteristics of the disc (2) in order to form a pit (P) at a correct position relative to the timing of the reference clock signal (S CK ). Furthermore, the light beam (LA 1 ) is controlled depending upon the temperature of the disc (2) and/or the scanning position of the light spot, in order to form the pit (P) at a correct position relative to the timing of the reference clock signal (S ck ).
